Patricia Lee, Director of Marketing for the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, Intl. and its charitable foundation Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs. Patricia is also the marketing lead for the national Manufacturing Day program which FMA co-produces. MFG DAY addresses common misconceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is — and what it isn’t. By working together during and after MFG DAY, manufacturers will begin to address the skilled labor shortage they face, connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing, and ensure the ongoing prosperity of the whole industry.
